           <p>
-            We are currently seeking developers and community members interested in participating in the future of
-            annotation.
+            Growing out of the experiences with web annotation software (<a href="https://annotatorjs.org">Annotator.js</a>, <a href="https://hypothes.is">Hypothes.is</a>, and others), Apache Annotator is a collaboration between developers of annotation tools to bundle our efforts.
+          </p>
+          <p>
+            The goal is to help developers of annotation tools create their applications without having to reinvent the wheel, while applying a standards-driven approach based on the W3C’s <a href="https://www.w3.org/TR/annotation-model/">Web Annotation data model</a>, in order to facilitate an ecosystem of interoperable annotation tools — ideally making annotations an integral part of the web.
+          </p>
+          <p>
+            We are currently working on a basic set of modules for core tasks such as anchoring annotations to their targets. We are always welcoming other developers and community members interested in participating in the future of annotation, so reach out to our mailing list or pop in on a call if you are interested!
           </p>
-          <p>Our intended focus areas are:</p>
-          <ul>
-            <li>A collaborative community for creating annotation related code</li>
-            <li>A future for Annotator.js-based projects and plugins</li>
-            <li>Enabling Web Annotation in Web browsers, Web Publication readers, and the servers that serve them</li>
-          </ul>
